I don't really have any strong opinions on Blogging. Its a multi-media medium to publicly display whatever you want. They are easy, accessible and open-ended. The fact that people become obsessed with them isn't overly surprising, i can see it becoming very addictive, especially if you were someone who had no other outlet to vent, explain or rejoice something or event. I think that if you want to follow rules, that's great, it makes it much more credible, but if you just want to say whatever and not care about the consequences then go for it. Who cares really, they are just an open, unedited article.
This is really taken quite seriously by many people, and many people make lots of money from it. This website is an example of this.

It tells you how to make your blog successful.
It makes an interesting comment about how many people comment on open forum websites like blogs and mentions that 1 in every 100 people will take the time to make a serious comment. This proves that most people are passive and are digitally voyeuristic.
Video logging is becoming quite popular and viral videos are even more popular, people like "nalts" and "charlstrippy" are making viral videos a very profitable endeavour.
